Hey guys i have been looking to replace my 3 gauge clubbie cluster (Annoying loud clock cluster) with one with a tacho, just been looking at some other options and came across this, they say that they can be fitted up for pretty much anything i just wanted to know if it would be compatible with a clubbies fuel senders, temp sensors,speedo cable etc ? would just like some else that has a bit more mechanical knowledge to give me some input
Thanks.

Speedo :
Uses a sensor which would have to be independently mounted (presumably to drive shaft /wheel)

Temp:
Doesn't seem t omention one.

Fuel Sender:
Unfortunately probably not....

The advert (and manual) refers to 100 ohm fuel senders...

I looked into this before and found / confirmed this info:

Quote:
After some research on the web finally understand why....
as VDO are 180 Ohms Full and 10 Ohms Empty.

Whereas Smiths (early) are 20 Ohms Full and 260 Ohms Empty


Aust Minis use Smiths fuel gauge.... (don't know about late Rovers)

They have a model for cars.

The Acewell forum might be the place to ask. There is a VW buggy on there that has one fitted.
